Not a joke, at least in my case. I cancelled my flight to Dallas to stay with my wife's brother who lives there, as thunderstorms are forecast for 08 APR 24.

Wife went anyway, to visit.

Re Taco Cat, If he's Taco Cat, why is he holding a burrito?
To protest the systematic oppression of palindrome-ism! Taco-cat identifies as non-symmetric, which is not to be confused with asymmetric. Taco-cat insists that you do not mis-symmetrize taco-cat.
